Welcome to Day 6! Inspired by Saucha, or cleanliness, we will rewaken our connection with the natural world. Together we explore practices centered around our daily rhythms that help us tune towards the elements of earth, water, air, and fire. We bring attention towards our feet with the intention of creating a connection with the earth and sky. In our meditation, we align with the earth, heart, and sky. Finally, lets notice when we make contact with the elements, and become aware of any sensation or emotion that arises in the body.
Your journaling assignment for today is attached below, as well as a copy of the Chant Call and Response.

Because I'm such a Vata person and today is very cold and windy I feel the pull to focus more deeply on the element of water. I will choose a yoga sequence that works with this element. Very grateful for your teachings.
Thank you, Kelly, for this illuminating self care challenge! I'm really enjoying your lessons and practices. By noticing the 4 elements on my walk yesterday, I was able to feel more present, more alive. Powerful!
I am loving this series. It's my first challenge. I am so surprised by these concepts, and I'm loving that I'm not intimidated by the words and language with which I'm unfamiliar; rather I'm just noting the feelings that come along with the words and practices. In practicing today's movements, I felt incredibly grounded when truly connecting feet to earth in this practice - a first for me. Thanks for creating and sharing this series, Kelly.
Hi Jill, Thank you so very much for being here with us and in these practices at such a potent time! Reading about your experience of grounding is profoundly moving for me amidst the present circumstances in the world. I am truly delighted that the practices are resonating! Sending a very heartfelt **THANK YOU** for sharing.
